traffic. Locate near or contiguous with the Library/Learning Center for
access to resource materials.
Provide large, clear areas for instructor work space to permit
flexibility in reapportionment of spaces. This area should be designed
around a modular scheme for the greatest possible flexibility in arrangement.
When individual offices are required within general areas, they should be
enclosed by lightweight, movable partitions. Systems or modular furniture
provides privacy and acoustical control in an open environment and allows
great flexibility for changing instructor work space. PC work stations may
be used here on a network. Design power, telephone, and data distribution
wiring systems in this area to allow for frequent changes.
Janitor Closet. Provide adjustable shelving and storage space for
cleaning equipment and supplies, mop rack, and a deep sink or mop receptor on
each floor.
Lab/Classroom. Academic classroom areas in the same space with the
trainer device allows instructors to relate directly to devices under study
during lectures. An unusually low trainee/teacher ratio such as 4:1 can be
expected due to safety concerns related to devices. A second instructor in
the class is considered a safety observer. Provide space for 2 trainees per
table. Tables are preferred to individual desks due to the array of manuals
and fold-out data used in the classroom. Normal class size is 8. Up to 10
trainees per class may be accommodated under extreme conditions.
Laboratory. Trainees are instructed here in electronics and
hydraulic testing. Lab hoods may be required for soldering.
Landing Gear Trainer. Allows aircraft hydraulic and pneumatic
mechanics, aircraft electrical systems technicians and aircraft structures
mechanics to receive organizational level maintenance training related to the
landing gear components for which they are responsible. They can demonstrate
both normal and abnormal operation of the landing gear and subsystems,
location of landing gear components and troubleshooting techniques for
Learning Stations. The learning stations are primarily computer
aided instruction utilizing student carrels. The instruction proceeds at the
students' own pace and ability to learn the material.
Learning Station Computer Support. Most computer aided instruction
systems now in use require a central processor which is usually located
adjacent to the learning stations area. Direct and dedicated support of
learning stations is provided. Provide access floor where required. Future
technology advancements may replace the central processor with a desktop
computer unit located in the learning stations area.
Up to eight classified file safes may be used. Provide security
measures as required by the user and the base security officer in conjunction
with NCIS.
Library/Learning Center. This space provides information and
resources. Larger centers require control of equipment and materials with a
service counter and work space which will provide orderly issue and receipt
